A NEW BEGINNING

Each May, FOCUS is proud to present our annual Medical issue. This year, BayCare’s South Florida Baptist Hospital will embark on a new beginning. The 70 year old hospital is relocating to a location off Exit 22 of I-4 east of the intersection of E. Sam Allen Road and North Park Road. South Florida Baptist Hospital will continue to provide highly rated healthcare and help patient’s start their new beginning—from labor and delivery to cardiac events. Learn more about the new state-of-the-art medical facility in this month’s cover story.

Thousands of kids in our community will start their new beginning as we close in on Graduation season. Students from Plant City High School, Durant High School, Strawberry Crest High School, and Simmons Career Center will graduate at the end of this month, some going to college and others seeking trade schools or entering the workforce. FOCUS is celebrating their achievements with senior class portraits printed within this issue and we hear from the Valedictorians of each senior class. Congrats to the Class of 2023 from FOCUS Magazine!

Warmest Regards,

Mike Floyd
